RECUPERARE L’INFRASTRUTTURA :L’HIGH LINE DI NEW YORK, 1929 - 2009.
2010
Designed by James Corner – Field Operation with Diller & Scofidio + Renfro, the High Line elevated Park is set on top of a forsaken elevated railroad structure in the old Manhattan’s meatpacking district. In over 20 years of abandonment, a lush urban wilderness has converted the High Line's tracks into a spontaneous greenway, whose unexpected beauty inspired the new park design, now matching with the huge regeneration of the Hudson Riverfront. The reuse of this abandoned infrastructure, claimed and partnered by the association Friends of the High Line, lean on some characteristic of the former viaduct which passes through buildings and runs nearly 30 feet in the air. Embodying the hybrid be…
Reliability and effectiveness of Ellenberg’s indices in checking flora and vegetation changes induced by climatic variations
2001
Two methods are proposed to assess the significance of time-spanned local variations of Ellenberg’s indicator values in floristic and phytosociological data sets respectively. Both methods are based on frequencies and averages of the indicator values within and among data sets. Main goal of proposed methods is to determine the threshold above which the observed variations are to be considered significant. In order to relate the observed floristic variations to recent climatic changes, attention was focused on the Ellenberg’s indices dealing with the main climatic variables: heliophany, temperature and precipitation. Study-cases from Zannone Island (Pontine Archipelago, Mediterranean region)…
COGNITIVE MOBILIZATION IN PLANNING CONFLICT. Values and democratic implications in two southern-Europe insurgent practices.
La tesi sostiene che, mentre molte teorie di pianificazione si sono concentrate sulle differenze, il multiculturalismo e risoluzione dei conflitti sociali, non c'è ancora sufficiente approfondimento su come queste differenze possano restare profondamente irrisolte e come questa debolezza possa essere fortemente legata a razionalità contrastanti e a una sorta di “slittamento dei livelli di senso” o “equivoci” cognitivi tra i soggetti coinvolti (Bourdieu e Wacquant, 1992). Soprattutto in termini di conflitti urbani espliciti, generati non da opposti interessi economici o differenti volontà politiche, ma semplicemente da differenti background culturali e comportamentali, il livello cognitivo d…
L’infrastruttura scomparsa. Il nuovo suolo della stazione Alta Velocità La Sagrera a Barcellona
2017
L’enorme progetto appena completato a Barcellona per il nuovo polo ferroviario della stazione Sagrera si caratterizza soprattutto per il legame fra la nuova stazione dell’Alta Velocità (AVE) e il vasto parco lineare, progetto opera di West 8, che copre la lunga trincea un tempo determinata nel tessuto urbano dai binari preesistenti. Ricostruendo il quadro di uno dei più grandi e ambiziosi progetti di rigenerazione urbana legati all’infrastruttura ferroviaria oggi in Europa, questo articolo si concentra sulla subordinazione della stazione al parco. Non si tratta di una semplice condizione di posizione (la stazione è letteralmente sotto il parco), ma di una nuova e sempre più diffusa condizio…

The Chinese Bittersweet Cake in Orbea’s Internationalization
2017
Orbea is the oldest and biggest bicycle manufacturer in Spain and one of the most recognized bike brands in the world. With more than 175 years in the market, in the year 2007 Orbea decided to set up its third manufacturing plant in the Industrial park of Kunshan. After 8 years with activity there, in 2015 the company decided to close down the factory and reallocated its resources closer to the Headquarters. Some of the reasons that influenced its entry and exit decisions had their origin in the specific context of investment (place): China and the country-of-origin (COO) cluster in Kunshan. Other reasons of the reshoring and backshoring were related with the evolution of the sector, public…
Transcranial magnetic resonance imaging-guided focused ultrasound treatment at 1.5 T: a retrospective study on treatment and patient-related paramete…
2020
Objective: To present a retrospective analysis of patient- and sonication-related parameters of a group of patients treated with a transcranial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-guided focused ultrasound (tcMRgFUS) system integrated with a 1.5-T MRI unit. Methods: The data obtained from 59 patients, who underwent the tcMRgFUS procedure from January 2015 to April 2019, were retrospectively reviewed for this study. The following data, among others, were mainly collected: skull density ratio (SDR), skull area (SA), number of available transducer elements (Tx), and estimated focal power at target (FP). For each of the four different treatment stages, we calculated the number of sonication proces…
The Impact of Depression Symptoms in Patients with Parkinson’s Disease: A Novel Case-Control Investigation
2021
Parkinson’s disease is a common neurodegenerative disease and it is known to cause motor disturbances associated with musculoskeletal problems of the locomotor apparatus, and non-motor symptoms, that are believed to have a harmful effect on health, social functioning and mobility. The aim of this study was to evaluate depression in patients with Parkinson’s Disease (PD) compared to subjects who do not have it. The sample consisted of 124 participants (mean age 69.18 ± 9.12). Patients with PD were recruited from a center of excellence for Parkinson’s disease (cases n = 62) and healthy subjects without PD from their relatives and caregivers (control n = 62). The Spanish version of Beck’s Depr…
Dabas vērtību diskursi Gaujas nacionālajā parkā
2022
Dabas aizsardzības pamatā esošās idejas laika gaitā ir mainījušās. Sākot no ļoti šaura skatījuma uz konkrētu sugu aizsardzību līdz pat dabas aizsardzības integrēšanai kopējās attīstības kontekstā. Atšķirīgs skatījums par aizsargājamām dabas vērtībām iespējams arī vienas aizsargājamās teritorijas ietvaros, šajā gadījumā Gaujas nacionālajā parkā. Parka dibināšana īstenota cita politiskā režīma ietvaros, kurā prioritāri tika izvirzīta atšķirīgu dabas vērtību aizsardzība. Kamēr mūsdienās valsts oficiālais viedoklis pārstāv modernās dabas aizsardzības idejas, sabiedrības viedokļi par dabas aizsardzību Gaujas nacionālajā parkā nav viennozīmīgi. Īstenojot vēsturiskā konteksta analīzi un citas pētn…
